Being beautiful, popular, smart, and high-achieving does not inoculate anyone against depression, anxiety, a mood disorder, or crushing doubt, writes Amy Dickinson.
Dear Amy: I have a daughter in high school. She is gorgeous, popular, does well in school, and excels at soccer .
A person’s brain seems to run independently from all of these external blessings. And your high-achieving and perfectionist teen is vulnerable. Basically, he was giving her permission and encouragement to put her mental health first. Surely this is extremely hard for a tough competitor to do. Annie sent a text to the cat’s owner on the last day, saying thanks for letting her pet sit and that she enjoyed it. We never heard anything back.Five days later, I sent a text saying thanks for letting Annie pet sit, and asking politely when she would get paid.
The next morning, she responded with a nasty gram about how she doesn’t need me reminding her, she is very busy with houseguests, she doesn’t have time yet to go to the bank, she always pays her bills, she has gifts for us, she has never used Venmo but now had to create an account, and all because I must urgently need money etc. It went on and on.Of course, from now I’ll arrange payment details first. She is a neighbor, so I didn’t think we’d have these problems.
